Uneven Smile Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Uneven Smile Correction?

Uneven smile correction is a customized cosmetic or functional treatment designed to balance the appearance of a lopsided or asymmetrical smile. An uneven smile may be caused by differences in muscle strength, jaw alignment issues, facial asymmetry, or nerve-related conditions. Correction methods vary depending on the root cause and may include botulinum toxin (Botox), filler injections, lip repositioning, or surgical procedures.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, our expert team uses detailed facial assessments to identify the cause of smile asymmetry and tailor the most effective treatment plan. Whether you require a subtle non-surgical approach or surgical intervention, we aim for natural-looking symmetry and improved facial harmony.



Who is a Good Candidate for Uneven Smile Correction?

You may be a good candidate for uneven smile correction if you:

✔ Notice one side of your smile lifting higher or reacting differently than the other
✔ Feel self-conscious or unhappy with your smile’s appearance
✔ Experience smile asymmetry due to muscle imbalance or nerve issues
✔ Are in good physical health and have stable facial development
✔ Seek both aesthetic improvement and facial balance

During your consultation at CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, we conduct a thorough evaluation including muscle movement analysis and facial symmetry scans. Depending on your condition, your treatment may involve Botox to relax overactive muscles, fillers for volume correction, or minor surgery to adjust muscle or lip position—all performed with precision and attention to natural results.

How is Uneven Smile Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Comprehensive facial and dental assessment to identify the underlying cause—muscle imbalance, jaw asymmetry, nerve weakness, or uneven lip movement
• Digital imaging and smile analysis to evaluate how the lips, teeth, and facial muscles function together
• Discussion of aesthetic goals and whether treatment should be surgical, non-surgical, or a combination

2. Treatment Approach

• The approach depends on the specific cause of the asymmetry:

– Botox Injections: Used to relax overactive muscles on the dominant side of the smile, allowing a more balanced expression
– Lip or Facial Fat Grafting: Adds volume to areas lacking movement or definition
– Orthognathic Surgery: Recommended if the cause is skeletal (jaw misalignment), repositioning the upper or lower jaw
– Nerve-related procedures: In cases of facial nerve weakness, microsurgery or physical therapy may be used
• Most treatments are done under local anesthesia or mild sedation unless jaw surgery is involved

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Non-surgical treatments like Botox or fillers involve little to no downtime
• Minor swelling or asymmetry may appear temporarily after injections
• For surgical options, swelling, bruising, and soft diet requirements apply for 1–2 weeks
• Follow-up visits are scheduled to assess muscle activity and refine symmetry
• Additional treatments (e.g., touch-up Botox or fillers) may be needed depending on facial response

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Botox & Fillers: Minimal downtime, results visible in 3–7 days
• Fat Grafting: 1–2 weeks of swelling; results improve over 1–2 months
• Jaw Surgery: 2–3 weeks of initial recovery; final symmetry visible within 3–6 months
• Exercise/Activity Restrictions: Varies based on procedure; light activity allowed after a few days (non-surgical)

Consistent follow-up and personalized adjustments are key to achieving a natural, confident smile.
